He Took My Breath Away

This week, we are doing an Alfred Hitchcock theme. I'd already portrayed one of my favorites a few months back here: http://365project.org/madhatters/365/2014-02-17#comment-20892127

So I decided to do one that made me laugh, at least the photo of the scene I was trying to recreate. Every time I looked at it, the silly dead face, I chuckled. Check it out here: https://www.google.com/search?q=frenzy+movie+photos&espv=2&biw=1680&bih=925&tbm=isch&imgil=k82l4rT7RonFXM%253A%253BEXTov9U3LVYAqM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.chud.com%25252F94517%25252Fmovie-of-the-day-frenzy%25252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=k82l4rT7RonFXM%253A%252CEXTov9U3LVYAqM%252C_&usg=__dU0Rs8cqAAyQx0MsScNVzlh3RB8%3D&ved=0CDcQyjc&ei=yRBFVNzjCcTc8AHMqoCYCQ#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=k82l4rT7RonFXM%253A%3BEXTov9U3LVYAqM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.chud.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2012%252F05%252Ffrenzy11.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.chud.com%252F94517%252Fmovie-of-the-day-frenzy%252F%3B475%3B270 (holy cow that is a huge link!)

Is it funny to you or am I a sick and twisted individual?

This is a victim choked by the necktie murdering from the movie, Frenzy. One of Hitchcock's later films, and considered one of his best. My parents saw it when they were dating.

I am embarrassed by how many shots of this selfie I did. I think I took the most shots ever and still, still, I wasn't very cute for a dead girl. Not a very flattering pose or angle and I have a fat tongue (who knew?). I'm rather ugly dead. Hope to stay alive for a bit longer.

Here is my Hatter version: @madhatters

Ack! Happy Monday and watch out for neckties (gag, choke, sputter, gasp...)!
My daughter pulls a very similar face to this :)

Ha, ha...great selfie, nice light, shadows for the Hitchcock ambience.

@amandal Yeah, pretty much! I must show her this tomorrow :)

@seattlite Thanks, Gloria. It was kinda fun trying to recreate this!

I remember seeing this movie when I was young and impressionable. I didn't see the humor in it, just the horror. I'm sure if I were to revisit it now, I'd see it the way you have portrayed.
October 20th, 2014  
bahahahha
October 20th, 2014  
Great portrayal of the action - I'm off to find the movie - I think it's the only Hitchcock I haven't seen.
October 20th, 2014  
LOL. Needed a good laugh this Monday morning. A good movie choice, well captured!
October 20th, 2014

@kph129 I love you for that...thank you. I spruced up with some makeup. Normally I don't wear it, but for dates and special occasions and selfies.

Ah ah ah! This is great and I did laugh a lot at the scene in the movie. Alfred's genial sense of humour...and yours is so great, too.
